From the get-go she would have suggestions and tips on things to work with him at home and they were all so insightfully helpful. She was so keen on sharing that although there were goals to meet, what mattered most was that he would progress. It alleviated so much of my anxiety as a parent. She was always so sweet and so encouraging with him. She is already missed and it hasn't been a week since we've said goodbye. And it would be rude of me not to mention Ms. Justine and Ms. Macarena for always communicating promptly and working with us for makeup sessions. Thank-you ladies!

North Los Angeles Regional Center assigned Optima Family Services for my son who has a speech…read moredelay. Melissa Ahamad, (SLPA) started working with my son when he was at 15 months old my son cannot say anything other than Mama and Papa. Fastforward to today, he is now 2years old and has over 80 words though not perfectly pronounced but still a big big improvement from how he was before. We started with sign languages then to minimal words. He hits himself when he cannot express his emotions, so when he started to use and understand the word NO, hitting was gone. It's such a relief. Kids express themselves better through language. At the end of each session, Melissa would give me recommendations for me to continue what she's doing with my son. Goals are set at each period and we try to meet them, e.g. follow steps, identify 5 objects, action words etc. At 2 years old, NLARC added another therapy for my son which is Child Development Services/ Infant Stimulation Therapy. Ernesto is my son's therapist for this service. He is also great! I have lots of questions regarding my son's behavior and development and he answers them patiently and explain everything to me, he even brought a book as reference for our topic. Their Supervisor Dara is also awesome! She evaluates my son's progress and works/plays with him well even though she's technically a stranger for him cos he has only seen him twice but she got my son to play with him unlike the other evaluator who would just stop trying just because he's shy. The office is so easy to contact, whenever I ask for paperwork they would easily send it to me! I love Optima Family Services, Keep it up! You help lots of kids and families.

Brian Griffeath-Loeb has been an incredible support for our kids--starting in elementary school,…read morecontinuing through college, and now helping one son with preparation for grad school. He really connects with our boys, meeting them where they are at each moment in their development and helping them recognize their strengths while finding ways to work through learning differences. Brian listens first, then offers thoughtful guidance. He's great at tailoring his approach to each of our sons' learning styles--whether they respond better to visual or auditory cues, and often they need both. He's calm, reliable, and he has made himself available when we need feedback or have questions as parents. One of our kids went from feeling completely lost in elementary school to graduating magna cum laude in college, and Brian played a huge role in that journey. He even helped them learn how to work with their teachers, whose styles didn't quite match their own. Brian truly goes the extra mile, and we're so grateful to have him in our corner.

I've used them for about 2 years, on and off, and unfortunately, it's hard to find good special needs therapy organizations in Los Angeles. I have Anthem Blue Cross so I've used a couple other organizations but ALP tends to have better staff compared to others, but unfortunately, they tend not to stay for whatever reason, and we're stuck with another trainer, coach every 6-8 months. Although Dr. Gina Chang is listed as the president of ALP, she doesn't have any interaction with patients. Most interactions are with staff via phone or "trainers". The current one we have, Jennifer, has been great and I hope she stays with the company but she has been our 6th one in over 2 year period.

All the good Therapist end up quitting the company due to how the schedule their staff. And the ones they hire to replace them have no experience and probably very minimal training. When I addressed my concerns about my son's current therapist with the BCBA, I was just brushed off and Informed that they would not reassign my son to a different therapist who has more experience. They seem to hire just anyone. Also when we initially started with the company, they were forcing on us to do 40 hours a week when he initially was only approved for 25 hours. They seemed like they only want to bill my insurance and just send any random person to be with my son. We had also informed our developmental pediatrician about this and he agreed that they are only looking to bill the insurance. We have had great therapist during our time with ALP But all have either left the company or were removed from my son's case due to their own scheduling conflicts. At the end of they day, they do not care about your child's development but their own bottom line. To any parent reading this, please do your research and avoid ALP. Just because they respond to your providers inquiry fast doesn't mean they are good. I only wish there were more regulations and ways to report companies like ALP.
